- | '''Services''' are programs that run in background, invisible to the user, and do some useful work such as maintaining Internet connections, checking for email, playing sounds, etc. Sometimes, services are called ''daemons''. To see the list of services currently running on your tablet, you can use the following:
| + | {| |
- | | + | | '''Service Name''' |
- | * ''ps'', ''top'', or ''htop'' command line utilities, invoked from [[terminal|XTerm]].
| + | | '''Service Function''' |
- | * ''CPU Load'' desktop applet (found in [[Extras]]).
| + | |
- | * ''Services'' configuration applet (found in [[Extras]]).
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Just like any other program, a service can be killed with the ''kill'' command or the appropriate button in the ''CPU Load'' applet. To disable a service (so that it does not start up after the next reboot), you can use the ''Services'' configuration applet. Be aware though that killing or disabling some services may seriously damage your system. Avoid it unless you are ''absolutely'' sure you know what you are doing.
